Yes. Should have worked.
Although you might have needed to actually use full name with extension
Most of us don't run from within \windows\System32.
go to a command prompt, carry out following one-liner:
wmic os get /all /format:list > %userprofile%\desktop\osinfo.txt
will put install date and much more in osinfo.txt on your laptop.
You will notice that the date/time format is a little unusual.
